Question: 1 / 400

Lateral restraint means the animal is _____.

Sitting upright.

Laying on its side.

Lateral restraint refers to an animal being positioned on its side. This method is often utilized for various purposes, such as medical examinations or procedures, where maintaining access to certain parts of the animal's body is necessary, or for the animal's safety and comfort during transport or restraint.

The positioning in which the animal lays on its side allows for effective handling and minimizes stress, as the animal typically feels more secure and less threatened in this orientation. The other positions mentioned, such as sitting upright or standing on hind legs, do not provide the same level of access or control necessary for procedures requiring restraint, nor do they emphasize the lateral aspect of the positioning.
